Isn't it Enchanting?

I must admit that I love a good fairy tale. This sampler was inspired by tales of princesses and fairies. You could easily adapt the design by substituting the name of your favorite princess in training. The borders in the Enchanted Sampler were inspired by vintage cross stitch patterns.

Rosy Window Cross Stitch Pattern

Here's another Etsy pattern that my dear cousin Cindy stitched up for me. It is called Rosy Window. The design is made up of cross-stitch, fractional stitched, and back stitch. If you don't enjoy doing fractional stitches, however, you may omit them. The design will look a little less "filled in" if you do, but will still be pretty.

Galatians Sampler - Back Stitch Chart

I have added a new pattern to the Etsy shop. It is called "Galatians Sampler" and was inspired by a favorite Bible verse of mine. Of course, you could also omit the wording and substitue your own or just stitch it without the words. Upon purchase, you will receive a regular print, large print, and extra large print patterns (along with alphabet and numbers for personalization). This allows you to use the chart you can see the best.

You may use the suggested color or choose a favorite color instead. Fabric choice is also up to you. The model was stitched by Cindy Grady and she used a white 18-count Aida and one strand of DMC 814.

Get the Galatians Sampler today or favorite it and add it to your wish list for later.

Rusty Chains Back Stitch Pattern

I have added a new pattern to the Etsy shop. The latest addition is the Rusty Chains pattern. The name of the design was inspired by the song "Rusty Cage" as sung by Johnny Cash. I was thinking about rusty cages and they morphed into rusty chains in my mind. And who doesn't want to break the rusty chains of life? In this pattern though, the chains are intact.

Of course, you could always stitch the design in different colors if you like. You could even stitch each "chain" in a different color. And if you do decide to purchase and stitch this design, please be sure to share a photo with us in the Connie Gee's Stitchers Group on Facebook.
